A.A.S.A. Plans Skills Centers

The American Association of School Administrators, with a $136,630
grant from from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, will establish an
"executive-development center" in Michigan to help school
administrators assess and improve their managerial and leadership
skills.

It will be the second such center established by the 18,000-member
group. The first pilot center was established last summer at the
University of Texas at Austin.

Over the next several years, the aasa plans to form a network of
centers across the country that will help practicing and prospective
administrators--particularly superintendents--enhance their skills and
knowledge.

As envisioned, the centers will also assist universities and
colleges in assessing candidates for preparation programs for the
superintendency.

The Michigan center, expected to be in operation by early 1988, will
be administered by the Michigan Association of School Administrators
with support from the state education department.--br
